Top 5 Favorite Albums:
I don’t think in albums. I think in songs.
What band would play at your ideal wedding?
Sonic Youth
If you had a kid, what would be the first song you played for it?
Under the Sea from The Little Mermaid.
What decade are you most nostalgic for and why?
Probably the 90’s. I love to jokingly listen to those hilarious bands. Real McCoy? Seriously? Hilariously amazing. Boys II Men… even better.
What’s your favorite venue?
Ah, venues. They are pretty gross actually. I get kinda tired of smelling the B.O. Can I say my living room?
What qualities do you possess that would make you an ideal hipster wife?
1. I’m awesome
2. I’m funny
3. I have always wanted to go vegetarian
4. I like men in skinny jeans
5. I have gone to art school
What do you look for in a potential hipster husband?
tallness since I’m 5′10, brown hair, blue eyes, sense of humor, a good cook, no facial hair, hilariously awkward
First of all, it’s come to my attention that if you google “Sarah Lipstate” or “Haley Dekle,” their Hipster Wife Hunting celebrity crush post shows up on the first page of results. That’s pretty badass. That means that if either of them are googling their own names out of boredom (and you know they’ve gotta do this at some point), they’ll totally see our celebrity crush posts and be like “Oh man, time to ditch my significant other and date whoever runs this website!” And I’ll be like “Yeah, maybe, we’ll see.” Gotta play hard to get.
Also: we need more pin-ups, more writers, more content, more everything! If you want to get involved, drop us a line at hunter (at) hipsterwifehunting.com. We’d love to hear from you!
Most importantly, the official Hipster Wife Hunting t-shirts have arrived! So far we’ve already sold 1 out of the initial 25… that’s 4% of all the shirts! That would be like if we had ordered 10,000 shirts and sold 400 of them already! That’s a lot of hypothetical shirts! Buy one now before the other 96% sell out!

Top 5 Favorite Albums:
I never like answering questions like this, I’m bad at picking favorites… no particular order here:
The Dodos – Visiter
Band of Horses – Everything All The Time
Patrick Watson – Close to Paradise
Talking Heads – Talking Heads: 77
Lynyrd Skynyrd – Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd
What band would play at your ideal wedding?
Without a doubt I would need one of the Daves performing.
David Byrne or David Bowie… would depend on what I wanted my theme to be, I suppose.
If you had a kid, what would be the first song you played for it?
I can narrow it down to two.
“Babooshka” by Kate Bush – no life is complete without knowing the words to at least one Kate Bush song.
“Innocent Child” by Big Audio Dynamite – child in the title, I dunno, it’s a good one.
What decade are you most nostalgic for and why?
70’s… I feel like I could get used to the idea of sitting in a field, drinking a beer, listening to 15 minute songs.
What’s your favorite venue?
I’ve got to say I have a soft spot for Cake Shop, I don’t know why, the sound is terrible, and I can never see anything, but I love that place. I’m also a sucker for Glasslands and though I’ve only been there once, the Knitting Factory is on its way to becoming a favorite.
What qualities do you possess that would make you an ideal hipster wife?
Erm, what is the ideal hipster wife? I guess because I work in music (and I’m kind of obsessed with music) that gives me some points. Music is pretty much the major player for me, I mean of course I like PBR because of how DELICIOUS it is, which of course is crucial. I’m also pretty much always ready to go out, however unkempt my hair may be. Oh, and I have a damn cool dog, named Franklin.
What do you look for in a potential hipster husband?
He must possess:
An opinion on music…doesn’t need to love the bands I love, just needs a point of view
Sarcasm
A good ‘tache or beard
A like for dogs or owns one
A bike, the subway is no fun
And of course, plaid, duh.

So, you did it. You found the girl. She’s pretty, she dresses like a cross between a grandma and a hooker, and she talks like a sailor with the brains of Einstein. Sure, you’re impressed, but you’re shaking in your boots, and now that you’ve got her number… shit, what now? Where do you take your future hipster wifey on your first date? First of all, she’s probably freaking out too. When’s he gonna call? Did I give him the wrong number? Ugh, that dress from Beacon’s totally makes me look like a ho, he probably thinks he can toot and boot it. Well, you can’t tell her to shut up, that’s her roommate’s job. But, it is my job to tell you where to take her so you can have a successful first date. Here, my clueless cohorts, is a quick guide on how to get the hipster housewife you dream of. Read on, boys.

City: Springfield, MO
Top 5 Favorite Albums:
1. Morrissey – Viva Hate
2. Ween – White Pepper
3. Beck – Sea Change
4. Camera Obscura – Let’s Get Out of This Country
5. Wu-Tang Clan – Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
What band would play at your ideal wedding?
Either The Smiths REUNION, or Yo La Tengo.
If you had a kid, what would be the first song you played for it?
If I had a son it would be Dr. Dre – “Bitches Ain’t Shit.” You have to teach them that life long lesson, and if The Chronic is what does it than so be it.
If I had a daughter it would be Best Coast – “When I’m With You.” I would play this in hopes that she would turn out like me, because isn’t that what having kids is all about.
What decade are you most nostalgic for and why?
I would have to say the 80’s. Glitter, neon, and androgynous men.
What’s your favorite venue?
Great American Music Hall, Red Rocks Amphitheater, and I’m just going to say The Lyric in Oxford, MS. because I saw Ween there and it was epic.
What qualities do you possess that would make you an ideal hipster wife?
I am not only into music, but I’m also pretty obsessed with video games. Especially the classics. Super Nintendo is my favorite system. I enjoy being crafty and creative. I am really down to earth and I think I could potentially be some hipster’s trophy wife… oh, and did I mention I love PBR, walks in the park, and riding bikes.
